Scratch everything right now that's currently on the market. Get rid of all logic and reason. What console would you like that tickles your fancy specifically. One that would really make you wanna buy it. It can be anything! Controllers, games, aesthetic, marketing. What type of console would you immediately get even if it didn't make any sense to literally everybody else on earth?
I'll start.
I'll start.
I'd want a Console with an aesthetic HEAVILY reminiscent of late 90s sega, a UI similar to the dreamcast with more online functionality and the absolute customization freedom of the PS3, where you can install custom console firmwares, themes, being able to back up your saves to USB, all that crazy shit!!! A game library full of indie games with AAA budgets, graphics and production values. The "first party studios" are literally all big indie developers/publishers like devolver digital and annapurna being given a massive budget with the company basically telling them to go fucking wild as long as it comes out on time.
A controller that REMOVES the right analog stick in favor of a touchpad, has back paddles, and has similar ergonomics to an Xbox Controller. It has 6 buttons similar to the Sega Genesis/Saturn pads, and you can SWAP THE POSITION of the DPAD and left analog stick (as well as face buttons and right touchpad) so you can customize the controller to your fullest extent for each game that you'd want to play. Also gyro and haptic feedback because of course not.
Also, it has a social space similar to playstation home where you can hang out and talk to other gamers, play games inside that social space, (like say, tennis or arcade games) have Voice chat which enables you to talk, and avatars similar to VRchat where everyone can just go on and put on ANY avatar and model for the sake of it. Oh, and a specialized full dive VR headset that's capable of uploading your consciousness into the game just for the sake of being able to fucking GO WILD. Yeah, you can do that for the social space as well. (for anyone worried about sexual harassment, you can just have a "block" feature that makes the person harassing your disappear from your client until specified otherwise)
The console also has hardware expansions similar to a PC, which you can buy in stores ranging from 100 to 450 dollars. They're super simple and easy to put in, and they give your console a huge boost while enabling extra options in games. This removes the need for a "pro" version of the console as you only need extra hardware to power up the system.
Games are distributed physically on big fat chunky cartridges (think N64, genesis, SNES carts) with SSDs inside them that enable loading times faster than even the PS5 and PC ssds on the market right now, like N64 and Genesis tier loading times. They have the most satisfying "click" when you put them in the console, and they can hold as much as 3 blu rays!!
Also, the storefront has an official workshop similar to that of steam, where people can submit their own creations and mods from PC, and people can play them ON PC AND Console, just for the fun of it. NSFW mods are in a seperate category that you need to be 18+ to access, so there's no need for moderation unless the mod has a virus that can fuck up people's computers/consoles.
I think that's it, lol
